Voice Of Wind

Voice Of Wind

While Shiva meditates in mountain cave, 
and the Wife of Bath drinks wine by the lake, 
Bilal bin Rabah stands on the Kaaba 
and calls out with voice of wind on sand dunes 
for people of the world to pause their work 
and gaze at beauty of empty Blue Sky. 

While Rumi chants verses of the Masnavi, 
and Minerva hunts in Silva Ciminia, 
Saraswati strums veena tunes and chants 
marriage between Shatarupa and Manu 
to celebrate creation of Telluria 
where humans fight over Garden of Eden. 

While Lao Tzu composes the Tao Te Ching, 
and King Lear cradles Cordelia with tears, 
Onatah plants corn with courteous hands 
which sprout from ruins of factories and banks 
as children of rivals play games of chase 
to share apples in Shenandoah Valley. 

While Sobek guards ziggurat of world god, 
and Iduna bakes apple pies in winter, 
Anahita bears tall pitcher of water 
to fill cups of worshippers in the temple 
where monkeys type stories of tragic heroes 
who smoke cigarettes in the pouring rain. 

While Thespis wears horned mask of the wild goat, 
and Lakshmi counts gold coins from sale of hope, 
Perun plays chess with Odin for our souls 
in thousand-year war for the heart of Zorya 
who tends apple trees on the Black Sea shore 
that grow through rusty tanks still stuck in mud. 

While Manawat weaves tapestry of fate, 
and Brigid leads children gathering eggs, 
Jehovah pilots silk hot-air balloon, 
pillar of smoke by day and fire by night, 
to drop bombs on the groves of olive trees 
where genies illustrate prayer manuscripts. 

While Kwan Yin gives peach juice to thirsty souls, 
and Anansi builds radio satellites, 
Kaveh the blacksmith climbs Mount Damavand 
to lead world revolution against Greed 
when Zahak and King Midas steal the land 
where farmers grow wheat with honorable hands. 

While Jesus feeds five thousand with whale meat, 
and Buddha meditates by the fig tree, 
the Cosmic Herald, bearing Torch of Truth, 
appears as Hidden Dragon from world war 
to create United Nations of Earth 
based on Liberty and Justice for all.
